Application for Spring Financial Assistance

The Priority Date for spring awarding is November 1st. We must have a completed spring application and a completed/verified FAFSA by this
date in order to ensure you have aid before spring classes begin. You may be required
to pay out of pocket if you did not meet the priority date.

A student must be enrolled at The University of Southern Mississippi on at least a
half-time basis and must be seeking a degree from the university to receive most types
of federal financial aid. If you wish to receive federal financial assistance for
the spring semester, please complete the following if:

you are not currently enrolled at The University of Southern Mississippi, or

you are enrolled on a less than half-time basis at The University of Southern Mississippi.

If you are enrolled on a less than half-time basis, you should notify our office if
the number of hours for which you are registered changes so that we can determine
if you have financial aid eligibility. If you have made a change in your admissions
and/or program status, contact our office so that we can determine if your financial
aid eligibility should be revised.
